It is narrated from an Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Horses are of three kinds: One is the horse that a person keeps tied for the sake of Allah Almighty; its price is also a reward, riding it is also a reward, lending it temporarily is also a reward, and feeding it is also a reward. The second is the horse on which gambling and (pre-Islamic) competitions are held; the price of such a horse is a sin, and its feed is a burden for the owner. The third is the horse that is kept so that it may give birth to offspring; it is possible that because of this kind, the owner’s poverty may be removed.
